Here’s the Flyers’ jerseys for the Winter Classic: No big deal for me, and not a major change from what they normally wear, right? I think the Rangers unveil theirs on or around Saturday’s game against the Flys.

Don’t have a lot of interviews for you today because A) I spent a lot of time working on a story I’m doing next week and B) What else is there for the boys to say after that Montreal game and a day off? For the same reason, John Tortorella’s…

Their legs didn’t move Saturday and they had Sunday off. Today the Rangers go back to work on this next three-day hiatus. Then they play three games in less than four days starting Wednesday in Sunrise. I’m working on a story for next week, so I’m going to try to…

The Rangers didn’t lose because they’ve had all this time off. They didn’t lose because it’s Hockey Night in Canada in Montreal. They didn’t lose because of the ridiculous pansification rules and penalty calls. They didn’t lose because of a bad goal given up by Martin Biron. They didn’t lose…

Game 17. Ya boys on a seven-game winning streak. Looking to make it eight in a row for the first time since 1974-75 … although in ’74-75 they didn’t even have overtime, let alone the breakaway contests they sometimes hold after the end of hockey games nowadays. The Rangers play…

Seriously, it’s like one big seven-day rain delay where they take the tarp off for two and a half hours and the rest is just waiting around. I can’t even tell you how much I dislike parts of the schedule like this. And after tomorrow’s game in Montreal, guess what?…

Thought you might like this photo posted by the Associated Press when Mark Howe — a great player and really good guy — was inducted into the Hall of Fame in Toronto this week. It’s a picture of Mark playing with his more-famous dad, Mr. Hockey. But check out Ron…

Last night’s game shows how much parity there is in the league, and how difficult it is to win on any given night. Here were the Islanders, skidding to oblivion, unable to score, exhausted from a one-game trip to the Pacific Northwest (Seinfeld reference), and not playing particularly well in…

Game 16. Start of four straight on the road. Ya boys on a six-game winning streak. Same lineup for the Rangers, which means Anton Stralman is prucha’d. Henrik Lundqvist in goal. Mike Rupp, Wojtek Wolski and Marc Staal still out injured. Ryan Callahan plays his 300th NHL game. Sean (Almighty)…

As we await the only game until Saturday — tomorrow in Uniondale — I don’t have much to offer. I am thinking, though, that if time permits maybe we can do our first live chat Thursday or Friday. The inaugural chat, you might recall, had to be postponed when that…

The schedule can play tricks on a team. Like right now with the Rangers. The last thing they want or need is a schedule that just staals (spelling intentional) out while they’re on a six-game winning streak. But that’s exactly what they get. After beating the Carolina Hurry-canes Friday night,…

I was on a plane while this game was being played … but a cool thing about JetBlue — not only do they have TVs on the plane (no MSG) but they also have satellite radio. So I was able to listen to Dave Maloney and Don LaGreca in the…

Game 15. Ya boys on a five-game winning streak. After tonight, they head out on a four-game trip, starting Tuesday on Long Island. I’m sure by the end of the evening we’re all going to be sick of the Eric Staal story. And I know that he’s going to be…
